Building hardware - Mechatronic cylinders - Requirements and test methods
This European Standard specifies requirements for performance and testing of Mechatronic Cylinders and their keys and/or electronic keys.
It applies to cylinders for such locks designed to be normally used in buildings. It also applies to cylinders for use with other hardware products such as exit devices, door operators, etc. or monitoring facilities and alarm systems.
It establishes categories of use based on performance tests and grades of security based on design requirements and on performance tests that simulate attack.
This European standard includes assessment of additional features when they are included in the cylinder design.
This European standard does not cover any other element of a security system, other than those directly involved in the control of a cylinder.
The suitability of cylinders for use on fire or smoke-door assemblies is determined by fire performance tests conducted in addition to the performance testing specified by this European standard; see Annex A.

Stavbno okovje - Mehatronski cilindri - Zahteve in preskusni postopki
Ta evropski standard določa zahteve za delovanje in preskušanje mehatronskih cilindrov ter njihovih ključev in/ali elektronskih ključev. Uporablja se za cilindre za ključavnice, ki so namenjene normalni uporabi v stavbah. Uporablja se tudi za cilindre za uporabo z drugim okovjem, kot so izhodne naprave, naprave za odpiranje vrat itd., ali z napravami za spremljanje in alarmnimi sistemi. Določa kategorije uporabe na podlagi preskusov delovanja in varnostnih stopenj na podlagi zahtev glede zasnove in preskusov delovanja, ki simulirajo napad. Ta evropski standard zajema oceno dodatnih lastnosti, kadar so vključene v zasnovo cilindra. Ta evropski standard ne zajema drugih elementov varnostnega sistema, ki niso neposredno vključeni v nadzor cilindra. Ustreznost cilindrov za uporabo pri sestavih požarnih ali dimnih vrat se določi s preskusi delovanja med požarom, ki se izvajajo poleg preskušanja delovanja, opredeljenega v tem evropskem standardu; glej dodatek A.

4 Foreword This document (EN 15684:2012) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 33 “Doors, windows, shutters, building hardware and curtain walling”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by April 2013. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. SIST EN 15684:2014
Mechanically performance of the mechatronic cylinder are based on EN 1303:2005. Mechatronic Cylinder can technically be described in three main designs: a cylinder with both electrically and mechanically operated locking parts; a cylinder with electrically operated locking part and a key for mechanically rotating the plug; a cylinder with electrically operated locking part and with manual operated opening/closing function. Increasingly such Mechatronic Cylinders (MCs) form a part of the security system of a building and may involve the use of electrical locking and controlling elements.
The performance tests incorporated in this European Standard are considered to be reproducible and as such will provide a consistent and objective assessment of the performance of these devices throughout CEN Member States.
It is assumed that mechatronic cylinders will conform to the legal regulations i.e. of the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) - Directive 2004/108EG, The Low Voltage (LV) - Directive 2006/95/EG, Radio & Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) - Directive 1999/5/EC and other relevant directives concerning electronic apparatus.
On occasions there may be a need for additional functions within the design of the cylinder. Purchasers should satisfy themselves that the products are suitable for their intended use. This is particularly important when the operation of such additional functions is safety-related. Accordingly, this European Standard includes assessment of such features when they are included in the cylinder design.
6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for performance and testing of Mechatronic Cylinders and their keys and/or electronic keys.
It applies to cylinders for such locks designed to be normally used in buildings. It also applies to cylinders for use with other hardware products such as exit devices, door operators, etc. or monitoring facilities and alarm systems.
It establishes categories of use based on performance tests and grades of security based on design requirements and on performance tests that simulate attack. This European Standard includes assessment of additional features when they are included in the cylinder design. This European Standard does not cover any other element of a security system, other than those directly involved in the control of a cylinder.
The suitability of cylinders for use on fire or smoke-door assemblies is determined by fire performance tests conducted in addition to the performance testing specified by this European Standard; see Annex A.

It is not necessary for the correct key to operate the cylinder after testing. 4.8.4 Resistance to attack by twisting After testing in accordance with 5.10.3, the lock driving element of the cylinders shall not rotate without the correct key, using a maximum torque of 5 Nm. It is not necessary for the correct key to operate the cylinder after testing. SIST EN 15684:2014
16 4.8.5 Resistance to attack by plug/cylinder extraction After testing in accordance with 5.10.4, the cam of the cylinders shall not rotate manually with 5 Nm through 360°, or in the case of cylinders with restricted plug movement, to the maximum permitted by the design. It is not necessary for the correct key to operate the cylinder after testing. 4.8.6 Torque resistance of plug/cylinder relevant to attack resistance After testing in accordance with 5.10.5, the plug and/or cylinder in attack resistance grades 0, 1 and 2 shall not rotate using the applied torque.
It is not necessary for the correct key to operate the cylinder after testing. 4.8.7 Attack by hits When tested in accordance with 5.10.6 the MC and its electronic keys shall be able to withstand opening by hits within the time specified in Table 9. 4.8.8 Attack by vibrations When tested in accordance with 5.10.7 the MC and its electronic keys shall be able to withstand opening by vibrations within the time specified in Table 9. 4.8.9 Increased voltage attack
The MC and its electronic keys shall be able to withstand electrical attacks by using higher voltage than the normal supply voltage DC specified by the manufacturer. The MC or electronic key may have degradation or loss of function which is not recoverable, due to damage of equipment or software, or loss of data. The electric blocking of the MC shall remain in a locked position.
Compliance is checked by the test method given in 5.10.8.
4.8.10 Electrostatic discharge attack
The MC and its electronic keys should be able to withstand electrical attacks and manipulation using high voltage and static electricity specified in Table 9.
For grades 1 and 2 the MC or electronic key may have degradation or loss of function which is not recoverable, due to damage of equipment or software, or loss of data. The electric blocking of MC shall remain in locked position.
Compliance is checked by the test method given in 5.10.9.
4.8.11 Magnetic field attack
The MC and its electronic keys, shall in grade 1 and grade 2 be able to withstand attacks and manipulation using a magnetic field. It shall not be possible to move the electronic blocking element from a closed to an open position by a magnet
from any direction of the MC available after installation.
The MC shall withstand 2 min of attack by a maximum 0,6 T magnet.
The MC or electronic key may have degradation or loss of function which is not recoverable, due to damage of equipment or software, or loss of data. The electric blocking of the MC shall remain in locked position.
Compliance is checked by the test method given in 5.10.10.
